Thanks. I've heard something about getting the go-goggles from the police chief, but that didn't seem to happen. are they used for anything in this episode anyway?
The safety goggles are given to you when you go talk to him at the end of the E16 story content. i.e, when Corin climbs onto a train. They are just a pokemon hold item which is used as a defense against powder moves and weather effects, I guess.
